BE BOLD WITH BOULDEN: The Stargate Project and Blind Trust

from America Emboldened · host Greg Boulden

Today, the temples have transformed, and the sacred vapors have been replaced by silicon chips and algorithms. Instead of consulting the gods, we now turn to machines—artificial intelligences capable of collecting, analyzing, and predicting with precision that borders on divine. The proposed 'Stargate Project,' an alliance of tech giants like Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI, promises a new era of AI-powered infrastructure. But is this the modern Oracle we’ve been waiting for—or something more ominous? In ancient times, the gods spoke through the Pythia, their messages shrouded in mystery. Now, our data, behaviors, and movements are the offerings at the altar of surveillance.
